Thin film transistor panels for liquid crystal displays

A thin film transistor panel for a liquid crystal display comprising:

• an insulating substrate;
• a plurality of gate lines formed on the substrate and arranged parallel to each other;
• a plurality of redundancy lines formed on the substrate, each of which being located between two adjacent gate lines;
• a first insulating layer covering the gate lines and the redundancy lines;
• data lines formed on the first insulating layer, intersecting the gate lines, each of which overlapping the redundancy line;
• a second insulating layer covering the data lines;
• first connect patterns formed on the second insulating layer, each of which coupling a first end of the redundancy line and the data line;
• and
• second connect patterns formed on the second insulating layer, each of which coupling a second end of the redundancy line and the data line.

• a substrate;
• a plurality of gate lines formed on the substrate and arranged parallel to each other;
• a plurality of first redundancy lines formed on the substrate and separated from each other with respect to the gate line;
• an insulating film formed on the gate lines and the first redundancy lines;
• a plurality of data lines formed on the insulating film and intersecting the gate lines, each of which overlapping the first redundancy line;
• a plurality of pixels defined by intersecting of the gate lines and the data lines;
• a plurality of thin film transistors each of which being formed in the pixel;
• a passivation film formed on the data lines and the thin film transistors;
• pixel electrodes formed on the passivation film, each of which being electrically connected to a terminal of the thin film transistor;
• and
• a plurality of second redundancy lines, each of which electrically coupling the first two redundancy lines on either side of the gate line,
• wherein the first redundancy line is formed in every pixel.
